have got of with losing piece of nose
or ear or having lip cut through.
Sixteen of these due!s, such as the
one have described, only more or less
bloody or serious in their consequences,
were fought that day. Two of them
lasted the full twenty-five minutes,
and one of the men could scarcely
stand. One poor fellow had a piece OF
flesh, about the size of small orange
plug, so it looked to me, completely
severed from his forehead by curious
twist of the rapier, which is three feet
long and sharpened like razor for
about foot from the point. OF course
that put an end to that duel, and the
wounded young man was hurried of
to the hospital, where, / suppose, he
will spend several weeks, and can
scarcely expect to escape without
serious Disagreement. The piece which
was cut out of his forehead was i'm
mediately seized by one of the doctors
and replaced, but the student seemed
TO think that it was very doubtful if il
could be made to grow back. This lit
tie incident seemed to sober the party
for moment, but only for a moment.
Another mensur came on, and in a few
minutes the steel was claShing again,
the beer glasses rafting, and nothing
more was thought of the unlucky
young fellow who had had his forehead
cut open.

SIXTEEN DUELs NADAY.

We reached the student-hall, on the
outskirts of the city, where the fight
ing was to take place, just as they were
about to begin, says writer in the
Charleston NetUS in a letter from Leip-
sic. At o'clock the room was filled
with students from the two universe
ties Halle and Leipsic), wearing the
caps and colors of their respective
corps, smoking, drinking beer, and eat
ing their breakfast. In a few moments
the first pair of victims was brought on,
their right arms being bandaged with
silk wTappings, pads protecting the
neck and chest about the heart, and
strong steel goggles over the eyes. The
company left their beer and breakfast
and gathered cheerfully around their
cOmbatants. In the center of the ring
the floor was covered with large piece
of canvas, on which the positions Of
the fighters were marked in white
chalk, and equally distinctly with nu-
merOus stains, which showed that the
canvas was not used for the first time.
The seconds took their stands on
either sides with drawn rapiers and
certain insignia of their respective
corps. The umpire took out his watch
and notebook, in which to record how
many "DlOody ones" should be received
on each side, and then the fun began.
Join weapons!" Ready" Fire away"
The four schlager met in the air, the
seconds drew back, and the principals
slashed away at each other as If for
life and death. The weapons clashed
in the air, the sparks flew, and then
Halt" cried the seconds, knocking up
the swords-one of the comDatants had
received blow. The umpire stepped
up to examine the cut, a thin red
streak was seen on the left cheek OF
one of the men, and the umpire called
out: "One bloody one on the Leipziger
Landsmanschaft; the mensur proceeds.
Join weaponsl Ready LOST They
were at it again, the blood by this time
oozing out plentifully from the cash,
and staining the white shirt of the
wounded man. Halt" was called
again, and another thin stream of blood
was seen starting from the roots of his
hair. Another Bloody one" recorded.
The fight went on for few moments,
and then a pause was declared, as the
young fellow, who had now received
three cuts, was bleeding so profusely
that he had to be looked after and
freshened up bit. The two took their
seats on chairs that were placed for
them, the doctors and the seconds
busted themselves about them, while
the others went back to their beer and
their breakfast. In few minutes the
fight was called again, several more
cuts were recorded, until one of them
severed a small artery, which had to be

WOMAN'S LOVE,

VINO rlsKed-nay, nearly IosU-ner lie
to save this wretched, useless being at
your feet. And now-Oh, Miriama, L
tremble to ask youl-will you forgive
and forget? Will you try to love me
once more, be it ever so llttle?
mo, TIE ORR" she answered, in a
voice low and tremulous with emotion,
as she wound her arms round his neck
and drew his haggard face down upon
her bosom-"no, L cannot promise to
love you afresh, because | have never
ceased doing so! | love you as much
nay. more than ever, for are you not
unhappy? Ah"-with infinite love and
tenderness in her tOneS-"yOu did not
know me then! You do not know me
now. You cannot imagine the rapture
of the thought that twas | who saved
you, or the Joy of being near you once
more-of having your dear head
pressed to this poor faithful heart.
Miriama is so happy that she has moth
ing left for which to ask"
So they remained for some blissful
moments, till Miriama, feeling how the
arms folded about her were trembling,
said
Rise, TIE ORR. You are weak, and
need rest"
"Call me husband then" he whis-
pered, with his face still hidden, that
l may know this is no bright dream
that will vanish when l wake. Call me
husband" and promise to return to
me, to be. soul of my soul and light OF
my peoples eyes. Promise! | will not
rise till you do.
Il do not know" and she looked
troubled. "If your boy had lived"
Il am glad he Gied!" he broke in pas
sionately. Il had no love for him.
Miriama, l cannot-L will not live
without you! If you refuse to go back
with me, will ask Hori to take me on
here as slave, that may be near you.
Oh, Miriama-my wife-can you not
forgive me%
A moment more she hesitated, then,
bursting into happy laughter, bent her
face to his, while she whispered
"Te Ori-my beloved-my husband!
/ will go with you withersOever you
will. And may the bright spirits send
us blessing this happy, happy day."
=
1t is two years later, and Miriama is
once more in her own home. She Is
leaning, laughing, but breathless,
against a tree, for she has just been
joining in the dance going on around
her baby-son, who is one year old to-
day. A glance reveals that she is
happy at last. Presently her husband
moves to her side, and putting his
hand on her shoulder, looks down at
her with loving, adoring pride.
Vain little womanl" he murmurs.
You think the little one is perfect"
$50 do you, TIE Orr, "she returns,
rubbing her cheeks softly against his
hand. And how happy all our people
look to-dayP -
Happy Ay, from the time they set
up that wild shout of welcome when
they saw you returning, happiness and
prosperity have reigned amongst them
once more. IT'S not TIE Orr, but Tie
Ori's wife who sways the hearts of our
people just at will"
NAY, talk not so. Miriama wishes
but to advise her husband, who is a
great and good chief. Koturua, bring
me my little Hori There"-holding
him up-"does he not grow like youp
HE is like TIE Whoree," said lie ORR,
looking at the baby thoughtfully, "and

The attentions paid the Presidential
